FRUITS SECS SAMARKAND

On the second floor of the large Chorsu market hall, you will find the dried fruit stalls for which Central Asia is famous. One stall follows another with the same merchandise: dried apricots, raisins, almonds (the best come from Andijan!), pistachios, sesame-roasted peanuts... Everything is of course negotiable, and above all, everything can be tasted because the qualities and origins often differ from one stall to another. Perfect for a small travel pantry or to bring home souvenirs.
